Daydreams and Nightmares: Reflections of a Harlem Childhood (Transaction Large Print Books) by Irving Louis Horowitz

In this distinctive, unromanticized look at the immigrant experience and cultural assimilation, Rutgers sociology professor Horowitz, son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, writes of "growing up absurd in the streets of Black Harlem" during the 1930s. Though relations between blacks and Jews were tense, the author emulated blacks' "wild individualism"; he regularly visited the Apollo theater, where he saw Duke Ellington and Count Basie perform. The streets taught survival: numbers-running and show more ticket-scalping were a source of cash for Horowitz; turf wars and muggings were commonplace. The family, headed by a tyrannical father who beat the author and his sister, eventually moved out of Harlem, first to Brooklyn, then the Bronx. show less

Latin American Radicalism: Documentary Report on Left and Nationalist Movements by Irving Louis Horowitz

Old. Contains some early writings on development theory by some leading writers such as Furtado. The introductory essay by Horowitz is strange and eccentric.
